How to play
- Goal
- Collect the most candy in twelve rounds.
- How it ends
- After round twelve, the highest score wins; tied leaders share the win.
- Record
- Your highest candy score is kept separately for each player count and opponent setup on this device.
- Collect the most candy in twelve rounds. Everyone secretly chooses one, two or three clockwise steps, then reveals together.
- Move every monster to its chosen destination. The ghost then rolls a six-sided die and walks clockwise: every space it passes or finishes on is spooked. Its starting space does not count.
- Spooked monsters earn no candy this round. Safe monsters alone collect the one, two or three candy printed on their space. Monsters sharing a safe space receive one each.
- Keep all candy already earned. All three step choices return each round. After round twelve, the highest score wins; tied leaders share victory.

A faithful adaptation of our unprinted Halloween board game. A short, luck-heavy family game: no elimination and no lost banked candy. All characters use identical rules. Other humans should look away during each private choice. Current hunt, last result and personal candy bests stay in this browser. No ads or analytics inside the game.

About Midnight Candy Run
A moonlit fantasy graveyard, four mischievous monsters and one wandering ghost. Choose secret steps, reveal together, and collect candy wherever the ghost does not pass.
Play against Easy, Medium or Hard bots, or share one screen with two to four people. Each seat can be human or bot; private handover screens keep human choices covered until the reveal.
